Play is neither idIeness nor folly. II
is one of the many good things which
have come into your life from Heaven.
| It is a gift from God. It is one Of His
wonderful works. . When He made the
beautiful earth and the sky, and the
body and soul of man. He made the
happy play Of childhood. It is q part
Of your life as truly rs prayer is, rs

Now, the first thing want yomto see.
is that this playing of you boys and
girls In the streets, or anywhere else- is
pleasure to God. He is a God SO Kind
and loving that He delights slnt every
thing innocent that is delight to- you. =
just as He delights i'm tho songssof
birds and in the color and fragrancesof
flowers, He delights in the playof child
hood 1t was because He was thinking
of it as pleasure that he sent Zecha-

the good news that children should
soon be playing in the streets. aft@@ff
God has made play a part of your
life because He wants youito be. strong
He has work waiting in the years to
come for every boy and girl on thes
earth; and although it is not all the
same kind of work, all of it is work
which will want strength forthe doing.
Therefore, Hesw not have you always
at tasks. He has divided the time for
tasks with time for play. He will have
you out in the open air. By your
games He will have your body in
endless motion. You shall run and
dance, and race and climb, so that
every part of you may be made strong
for the work that lies before you in life.
For another thing, God wants You
to have a happy gateway into life.
Nobody can tell beforehand whether
your after life will be happy; but God
in His, love has secured that the time,of
play shall be happy. In games you
are joined together, just asswe who'are

New York, March 2Sth.-The Tribune
says; w Donahue, well-known jockey,
thinks there is only one horse in the Sur
burban, and that is Tine Bard. For Ben
Ali he feels a kind of contempt which he
takes no pains to disguise. \ horse

win the Suburban, he says Did Ben
Ali bleed in the head last year the public
was not aware of it, but such thing is
possible, for Ben Ali is an extremely full
blooded animal, and the Eastern climate
may have effected him as it did Gardey,
another Californian. Hidalgo, in Dona-
hue's opinion, is the better horse of Hag-
gins pair. Exile, he says, is dangerous in
the Brooklyn handicap and in the Surbur-
ban, but in neither race does he see more
than two or three horses fit to win. Sew
eral mounts have been offered him in the
two races, but he has not decided which to
accept.

THE coEscIoN BILL.
Detection of Number of Unioni
Members

Alleged Detection of Number of Urionist
Members.
LONDON, March 2Sth.-A conference of
Liberal Unionists will be held at the Dew
-onshire House on Thursday, to consider
the coercion bill. An exchange of views
in the lobb;es on the bill has disclosed
the fact that several Unionists disapprove
of the measure, but the mass of the party
consider its provisions not too strong.
Lord Harrington and Mr.. Chamberlain
will give thorough support 70 the whole
measure. The threatened detection of
Unionists will probably not exceed ten
votes, leaving the Government still with
potent majority.
The Parnellites held an informal meet
ing and united in denonncing what they
termed the atrocicus character of the coer-
cion bill. The measure, they said, con-
cealed under its provisions powers for the
extinction of the liberties of the press, pub
lie meetings, free speech ard all individual
rights. The Parnellites disregard the
threats. Smith is to continue the debate
until the second reading of the bill. They
say that il a protracted sitting results in a
test of physical endurance they will be
ready for the struggle.
1t is the opinion of many persons that
Balfour's speech was weak, diffused. con-
fused and pointless, and that on the first
chance he has had to show if he was capa-
bic of rising 10 great occasion ne has
made notable failure. Parnell has post
poned the introduction of his amendment
until he consults with his colleagues.

Splendid Prospect for a Bounteous Fruit
Cron


SAN FRANCISCO, March 2Sth.-TSpecial. i
Washington Porter "a well-known member
of the Chicago fruit firm of Porter Bros,
dealers in California fruits who has in
company with Senator L. w. Buck, of Vac
avil4e General Manager Of the California
Fruit Union), made tour of Solano, Yolo,
Sacramento and Placer counties, reports
that he never saw prospects for full fruit
crop better than the appearances in the
above named counties indicate at present
Everything said Mr.. Porter, in con-
versation to-day, points to the most
abundant crop of fruit wherever I have
gone throughout the State, and barring
some unforeseen occurrence, this will be the
greatest fruit year ever known to California.
But, of course, we cannot discount the
future too much, and something may hap
pen to blight the prospect. But people
are not pessimistic, and, consequently, are
not looking for bad luck"
Senator Buck confirmed the statement of
Dir. Porter, and added that in his portion
for no more rain. " We have had" said
he, ''all the raia we need to perfect our
fruit. Any more would only tend to soften
it and render it less suitable for shipment.
Therefore, in our prayers we ask for ces-
sation of the spring rains. The grain
growers, however, want more rain, and |
suppose are praying for it, and the good
Lord will have 10 decide between u.s."
Mr.. Porter aad Senator Buck will start
tomorrow morning on tour of inspection
through the counties of Alameda, Santa
Clara and Santa Cruz.

ness in the Family.
NEW YORK, March 2Sth.-Concerning
the story published to the effect that
Beecher's youngest sister, Mrs. Isabella
Beecher-Hooller, was refused permission to
look upon the face of her dying brother
an intimate friend of the family said last
night: 1t is true the Beecher family OBJ
iectsd to the presence of Mrs. Hooker dur
ing that awful period Of aflliction, but
there is nothing III it TO wonder at Mrs
Hooker acted in most unsisterly way and
said most cruel things during the Beecber-.
Tilton trial. She was simply infatuated
with Victoria Woodruff and used to call
her Victoria, my queen This infatua-
ton induced her to say things of Beecher
which were not forgiven. Her association
with that woman of itself separated her
from the family. Now, when Mr. Beecher
was taken i'll it was with apoplexy, and he
was unconscious until he died, and Mrs.
Hooker coGld not have spoken to him, nor
could he have recognized her. Her pres
ence would simply have been an addition
to the already great load of grief that Mrs
Beecher had to bear. Mr. Beecher's whole
family objected to her presence in that
house at such an hour, and have no doubt
that Rev. Edward Beecher did go and ask
her not to call, although l do not know it
as fact. | see no occasion for any public
comment upon the proceeding. It was
very wise and entirely proper"

Cardinal Gibbons Sees No Danger in the

knights of Labor.
ROME, March 2Sth.-The text of Cardinal
Gibbons report on the Knights of Labor,
as published in the lioniteur de Rome,
shows that several additions have been
made TO the report, as originally published.
Referring TO the objections urged against
the organization, the Cardinal says: :" 1t is
objected that in this kind of organiZ-
atoms Catholics mix with Protestants
to the peril of their faith. Among a
mixed people like ours, the separation
of religions in civil affairs is not
possible. To suppose that the faith of
Catholics suffers shows an ignorance of the
Catholic workmen of America, who regard
the Church as their mother. They are in
te ligent, instructive, devoted, and ready to
gre their blood as they give their hard
earned gains for her support and protec-
ton" To the question whether 1t would
not be better TO have organizations con-
Quoted by priests, under the direct influence
of religion. the Cardinal frankly replied
that be thinks it neither possible nor neces-
sary. :" In our country" he says, we
have abundant means OF making Catholics
good without going so far"
1t being objected that the liberty Of these
organizations exposes Catholics TO deadly
influences and associates more dangerous
than even atheists, Communists and An
archists," the Cardinal said it was tue, but
an attentive examination into the violent
struggles between labor and capital had
convinced him that it is as unreasonable
to attribute violence to the Knights as it is to
attribute to the Church the follies and crimes
other children, against which she protests.
English Wheat Market.

Flour is irregular and cheaper. Eleven
cargoes of wheat arrived during the week.
One was sold, eight were withdrawn, and
